LYRICS
It’s a long ride ’till the end of the road
Sure hoping my patience won’t explode
Saw a sign up ahead… read what it said
“Home is here… or wherever you make your bed”

Lay your head

Their endless loop of confusion
A contusion
End fruitless loops of confusion
Begin enthusiasm

Lay your head

Where ever you may go… take care
Whatever you may show… show care

So long to all we fear
The future is now near
Though I love you so
I’ve gotta go

Now we hear now is near
Time to serve the atmosphere

As long as we’re suckin’ the oxygen
Might as well begin’ servin’

What spirit animal are you?

Gotta get back to that place
Where we’re part of the human race
Gotta get back in the race
If we’re ever going to place

The insanity of humanity
We’re all gonna die

Makes ya wanna cry

Oughta get back in that space
Where greed and hate leave no trace
Oughta get back to save face
Get under God’s good… good God! Good grace

LYRICS
The other day, a friend called and asked about getting a cowboy hat….

Headed to Virginia for a cowboy hat
If I can’t secure it, ain’t coming back
Going to Virginia for a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, I love ya
But, that is that

Put a cap on it before I lose my head
Let’s rap this up and put it to bed

Said, Head to Virginia don’t come back
’till you acquire a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, see ya… though where ever I may roam
Don’t you know you’re always going to be my home

LYRICS
I’ve been using gravity to make do
Since before I was two
Oh, yeah… and, I’ve been using friction, too
To save me from the mountain dew
Soooooo
There’s quite a bit you can do
A super, natural hero

Roll with the role of the magnetic pole
An attraction to you
Or, maybe you want to try and repel
You can do it just as well
The solution once you are in motion
Just add a little of your friction
No fool… you’ve got fuel and oxygen
Now, we’re on fire once again
Soooooo
There’s quite a bit you can do
A super, natural hero

Songwriting In The Cascades, BIacksburg, Virginia

LYRICS
The quite chill of an autumn morning
The lichen might consider quite trite
But, the human glare finds it worthwhile to stare
As the fluid cascades amongst the solid
The sunlight cascades over the mountain top
Spilling colors of every hue

Any man must stop to ponder what it is we did
Every man must stop to wonder the wonder if we stop
Look what progress did to the fish
Look what our standard of living has lost
Look what it is we do
Maybe we should be careful for what we wish
Open our eyes. Open our ears. Heed the warning…
Before the waterfalls fall

ABOUT THE SONG

Written on October 20, 2012 at the Cascades and Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA. Motivated by The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment.
